You relentlessly seek the truth among an age of lies. Perhaps you're motivated by belief in the law and a sense of universal justice, or maybe that very law has failed you and you seek to make things right.

Or maybe you're a detective for hire, uncovering secrets for well-paying clients. Cybercrime Investigators investigate a number of crimes, ranging from recovering file systems on computers that have been hacked or damaged to investigating crimes against children. They recover data from computers that can be used in prosecuting crimes in court. Computer crime investigators must also write reports for and testify in court. They also may work for large corporations to test security systems that are currently in place. Investigators do this by trying various ways to hack into the corporation's computer networks. At corporations, computer crime investigators also maximize optimal computer system performance levels. Most Cybercrime Investigators have recieved atleast 2 years of university education. Cybercrime Investigators typically work for law enforcement agencies, consulting firms, or business and financial companies. Comprehensive forensic software tools (such as Encase Forensic Edition, X-Ways Forensic Addition, Paraben, Forensic ToolKit (FTK), Linux DD, etc.) are used by crime scene investigators to provide their collection, indexing and detailed analysis.
